## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability btc-node-api-url-scrape-36452882 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the content from https://example.com/article and tell me the page title and how many words it contains?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly extract raw text content and metadata (title, word count) from a specific URL and are comfortable paying $0.005 USDC per call via x402 on Base. It is part of a broader multi-purpose API on btcnode.uk that also offers Bitcoin, SEC, AI, and Reddit capabilities.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — scrape fails with an error
- URL points to a JavaScript-heavy SPA that requires rendering — content may be empty or partial
- Payment of $0.005 USDC not authorized — 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid input schema — missing required fields like type, method, bodyType, or body returns a validation error
- Target site blocks scrapers via bot detection — returns partial or empty content
